Spring Boot - SpringBootServletInitializer Examples

Spring Boot 


SpringBootServletInitializer is an extension of WebApplicationInitializer. It is needed to run a SpringApplication from a WAR deployment. The implementing classes are supposed to provided the source configuration class by extending configure() method. The configuration source class should be annotated with @SpringBootApplication or its variant. 


package com.logicbig.example;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder;
import org.springframework.boot.web.support.SpringBootServletInitializer;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

@SpringBootApplication
public class WarStructureExample extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

    @Override
    protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure (SpringApplicationBuilder builder) {
        return builder.sources(WarStructureExample.class);
    }

    public static void main (String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(WarStructureExample.class, args);
    }

    @Controller
    public static class MyController {

        @RequestMapping("/")
        public String handler (Model model) {
            model.addAttribute("msg",
                               "a spring-boot war example");
            return "myPage";
        }
    }
